"There is going to be a very important investment for the economic reactivation that the country needs, which has to have the State as an articulator so that the works are of quality"

This was stated by the Minister of Transport and Public Works José Luis Falero and pointed out that in the remainder of this year and the next “the push will be noticed” in what has to do with the development of public works. The administration will ensure that the works have durability. "We intend to be certain that we are doing quality works, adequate to the traffic and the increase that it is going to have," he said.

The Minister reported that work is underway to launch a series of tenders and avoid extensions. In addition, it is seeking to finance a series of priority works, which will allow traffic flow, such as the double track of route 5 between Canelones and Durazno, the double track of route 9 to Chuy, the rehabilitation of route 6, as well as the extension of the double track of Route 1 to Colonia.

Crema contracts will be used that allow the works to be executed in a shorter time and to be paid for in a shorter period than the projects of public-private participation. “We are working on the projects and bidding documents. This second semester you have to tender, "he said.

MTOP EXECUTED OVER USD 300 MILLION IN 2020

in: Top,News,Uruguay,roads

The Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP) executed more than 86% of the budget it had assigned for the year 2020

This was stated by Minister José Luis Falero, who attended the Budget Committee integrated with the Treasury of the House of Representatives. The hierarch -accompanied by Undersecretary Juan José Olaizola and the rest of his team- was satisfied with the progress in the execution of works despite the health emergency. “The difficulty of the pandemic itself and the transition were concealed. There was a strong execution, for which we must thank the entire MTOP team and the companies that have been contracted to carry out the works, ”he said.

Likewise, the chief reiterated his commitment to increase the execution of works in the remainder of the five-year period to improve the state of the country's infrastructure. The MTOP seeks to tender a greater number of road works in order to reduce costs. "When there are tenders there is more competition between the companies and that generates savings for the administration that can be used in other works," he said.
